Max's Inspiration Behind Schmidt's Style: JT!

It's no secret that Max Greenfield's scene-stealing New Girl character Schmidt is a snazzy dresser, and now he's revealing the inspiration behind his very GQ look in the show.

"I felt like Schmidt's style can be best described as he saw a Justin Timberlake HBO special and did his best to kind of replicate that within a budget," he tells InStyle.com. "And it didn't go well. And it's kind of stayed on that level ever since."

"I think he's a trendsetter, as they say. But he's always been kind of a natty dresser," he tells the AP. "[He's] a very fashion-forward kind of guy ... That one unfortunate picture of him in that denim tuxedo excused."
